Synopsis:

He never planned on falling for the enemy…

Indebted to a local crime boss thanks to their father’s gambling debts, mechanic Joe Colton and his brother have been forced to steal cars for three soul-killing years. But when Joe saves the man’s niece from police – the same deliciously hot-blooded woman sabotaging their efforts to clear the debt – it’s time to negotiate new terms. And discover why, that one night, she burned him with a kiss then ran…

Darcey Connors will do anything to get her baby brother away from the criminals in her family – even screw up a good man’s life. Yet in the midst of tailing Joe, she somehow falls hard for the sexy tattooed car thief. Nothing can happen between them, but she owes him big time, and if he’s going it alone, she is going to help. As long as no one ever finds out – not Joe, her family, the police – or she could lose everything.

Darcy Connors is a very frustrated woman. Her stepfather is one nasty man who makes her
life miserable. She shows the reader
what some people will do for family. Joe
Colton also shows what he’s willing to do for family. He’s finds himself conflicted over a certain
woman. Each time they come together,
their connection just gets hotter and hotter.

The sad moment for me was her visits with her younger
brother.He’s being used as a pawn and
paying the price.The story shows how
children always seem to pay the price of a parent’s bad decision.One thing I loved was that our author doesn’t
try to glamorize what our couple must do in order to survive.But our author is also very devious.She puts so many obstacles in Joe’s way.It was interesting to watch him squirm and
how he gets around it just to find something else in his path.

You know an author has a winner when a reader gets personally
involved with her characters – ones that make you angry, sympathetic, laugh,
brings tears to your eyes and even the thought of yelling at them.The author has certainly done her job when
you start to realize how alive these characters seem to be.This also includes those that are really
nasty – you have no choice but to hate them and if you could you would act like
a concerned citizen and call the police.

Even though this story is a part of a series, Ms. Gray gives her
readers a very nice HEA. This was a book
that I enjoyed from beginning to end – even while reading the tough parts. And I’m on pins and needles waiting for when Slide comes out. When this series is done, I can see myself
having a read-a-thon and that’s never a bad thing.

DON'T MISS THE FIRST BOOK IN THE BOOSTED HEARTS SERIES!
